Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Automation Around the Mast and Drilling Control System Enhancement
1032385
Continuing in the development of a fully automated exploration drill for the mineral exploration market, the firm aims to deliver automated rod-handlers, rod sloops and wirelines to compliment its recently developed automated mast features. In the race to deliver a fully automated rig, the focus now shifts to the equipment around the drill to create a truly hands free solution. Additionally, building upon the firm's recently developed drilling control system, it is necessary to develop a robust algorithm which precisely calculates the depth of the drill bit real time, thereby enhancing the quality and correlation of data captured apart from the use of the firm's existing data logging system.
